The whole popularity thing, (jocks vs geeks) hollywood's always going on about. Is it really that extreme?
Well, I graduated in 88 so I can't speak for today's teens, but when I was in school in wasn't as extreme as Hollywood portrays. But it was there. We had Jocks, Geeks (though I think we called them brains), and the "heads" which were the head banging, hard drinking, tough guys (and girls)-I.E the dangerous people. There were a lot of other categories too and some of them crossed over. But I found College (University) was a whole new ball game where none of the former labels applied.
